About this Item
Description:
Quarto. Pp. xxi, 149. Plus a suite of 64 plates bound at end. With 50 text figures, many in the form of very large folding plates outside the pagination. Plus 3 additional plates, one as frontispiece, printed in tinted collotype, each with a facing tissue-guard. HARDCOVER, bound in the original publisher's duo-colour full cloth, gilt spine and cover, with dust-jacket. Placed in the original cloth slipcase, trifle faded. In fine condition. Excellent copy. ~ FIRST EDITION. Egyptian Religious Texts and Representations, 2; Bollingen Series XL, 2. Edited by N. Rambova. [Provenance:] From the private collection of Stewart Dale White, former Treasurer and Trustee of the Egypt Exploration Society, with his ownership signature to first free endpaper, next to an earlier ownership signature. All the wonderful plates are printed in collotype, one of the most accurate and attractive methods of photomechanical tonal printing processes. Highly skilled and expensive process, it cannot produce more than a limited number of impressions. It has been used for single-sheet prints and luxury portfolios, and since the 1950s has been abandoned by all except a few small specialist firms. The copper-tinted collotype plates are of particular merit. OSIRIS-1. Seller Inventory # 7669
